"In a true sense your criminal acts were not only violations of the criminal laws of this state but they were directly aimed against the enforce ment of the laws of the state by the due and orderly procedure of the courts, as provided by law. Those acts were such as directly tended to the subdivision of all law and order, being acts which sought to substitute the rule of the mob for that of the due and orderly administration of the law by the people acting through their legally established tribunals." "If such acts wee left unchecked and permitted to continue, and if such offenses were left unpunished, they would ultimately and necessarily result in the subdivision of all law and order and eventuate in the substitution of mob and anarchy for the due and orderly administration of justice bv the people, acting through their legally and regularly constituted courts and duly chosen officials, in the enforcement of the laws made by the people themselves." Thus Judge Ernest Moore spoke today in passing the sentence of the | court on Horace Finch. W. R. Belcher I and Robert Wilson, the trio of alleged jail stormers who were convicted in the court of general sessions during the week for participation in an attempt to administer summary vengeance to a negro, Will Fair, who w;R held in the county jail on the night of August IS, I'm, chargeXl with committing criminal assault on a white woman of near White Stone on the morning nrecediner. The appeals for leniency from attorneys representing the convicted men and a personal appeal from Belcher in behalf of his wife and three children, wore received by the court, but tho presiding judge enjoined: "The punishment to be inflicted upon you must be proportioned to the gravity of the violation of the law of which you have been found guilty and there remains to me no alternative except so to fix that punishment as to fit adequately the crime vou committed." "Therefore the sentence of the court is that each one of you, Itohert Wilson. W. It. Belcher, and Horace Finch be imprisoned in the state penitentiary at hard labor, or in the county jail of the county of Spartanburg. at hard labor upon the public works of the county for a period of three years. Bond for the release of tho men pending the appeal to the supreme court was granted in the sum of 81,r a a u rni c< a ? 1 - * .. -? .ii u i-cirii. 1 in* o|mmuiiiui^r .louiiiai.

Browning Gives Views as A to Erection of Grain Elevator. Urges Diversified Farming and Stock Raising and a Reduction of Fertilizer Bills. Union, S. C., Dec. 1.?Mr. Editor: I have watched with much interest, ^ Commissioner Watson's whirlwind campaign to encourage the sowiner of ^ more jrrain in our State. This cam- " pai>;n was" befjun more than two months too late, still it may accom- . plish some prood; but if I read correct- . ly, it may do considerable harm. The "P commissioner has carried around with him and has had exploited more ex- J* ' msively than any other member of ^ the party, a Mr. Stratton, who is evl' dently an apent for a prain elevator , construction company. Any one who J1 notices the carloads of corn, of oats -1 and of flour that continually are be- " inp broupht into every railroad sta- j*1 tion in our State, can readily realize 18 the fact that the various towns of South Carolina have about as much A' use for prain elevators at present as s< "hell has for a heatinp plant." It will ** be years before our local needs tiro tf*1 supplied by local pioduction, and vet the chief star has been this traveling . salesman for some Western manufac- P tu'inp concern to take thousands of p, dollars out of our State to build unneeded prain elevators. Were notvthe expenses of this pentleman paid by the State, out of the revenues of Commissioner Watson's department j.( We need more livestock in South Carolina, and in all the other Southern States, and the most profitable ^ use a farmer can make of his surplus prain, is to feed it to livestock, and n, '11 the finished product instead of tho> a] raw material. ? 1 would commend to eve^ farmer's ^ nttnntirm. an nrtioln hv Mr. A. CI. Smith, who was of Mr. Watson's oar- ^ (v. published in The State of Wednesday, November 25, on page 7, headed jyj "Financing Grain in the Middle West," ^ which bears me out in my contention that we should feed our surplus grain to livestock. Mr. Smith is connoted r with the Agricultural Department At ^ Washington, and ,l^ihai*;.?o g>4.id, 'atfrf Peftheh ?s oft apphf^htly * ? oost-graduate in the dissemination of w hot air. a, Allow me to say that I regret ex- ai eeedingly that I did not have the jj. pleasure of hearing these gentlemen w when their whirlwind campaign struck cj Union. I rode twelve miles on a bitter cold day for that purpose, that date aj having been advertised in two con- OI secutive issues of the daily press by j1( Commissioner Watson, only to find ^ that by long distance telephone he had changed the date. w More grain has been sown this fall rj than ever before in the history of this section. It is a non-perishable prod- rt uct, and I have no doubt the producers will find a ready local market for all u surplus, without the expense of building elevator plants throughout the m State. There will be planted a con- ^ siderable area in both early Irish and sweet potatoes, and if Commissioner S{ Watson will find markets for these ^ products, he will confer a great bene(it on the farming community as these are both perishable products, and re- S( quire a quick market. The Irish po- 1 tato in this section will be ready for u, market the latter part of May and' ' early in .June; the sweet potato in late July and early August, so that the in- -p formation as to marketing these products would be utterly useless if fur- jV nished next October or November. Our State has long needed a more ' diversified agriculture. We can easily grow all the necessary grains and vegetables for our own consumption. We can grow all our own meats at a profit, and on our waste lands we can 4 grow wool enough to clothe our people. Then cotton, the greatest money crop of the world, will be a surplus (]( crop as it should be. Then the cash js received from cotton will not be sent a to other States for mules, corn, hay, j,, flour and bacon. Then our fertilizer hills will be reduced many millions of dollars, and our agricultural communities will be prosperous, contented and happy. tj We often boast of our wonderful v. .trides along agricultural lines. Let me give you the crop produced by one Union county farmer in 184(5: On a four-horse farm that had been<r( sold because the owner could not make a support for his family as it ,,, was too poor. Of grain and meat y i enough was produced for himself and G] z.i siavcs ana an animais Kepi on me plaee. Of cotton there was produced gj 1H> bales; this was ginned by the fourl* work animals that made it, and every bale hauled (?.r> miles to Columbia by these same animals, and sold before a Christmas. In one year, on this place on which the former owner could not ei I make a living, two-thirds of his cot- ^ ton sold for enough to pay the purchase price of the plantation; he had p never heard of commercial fertilizers at that time. Can any farmer of the j present day beat this record ? h Respectfully, v j LOWNDKS BROWNING. 8 Miss May Pepper, who has been in ! Augusta for several months, will arrive in Union soon to visit friends before returning to her home in Missis- b sippi. v tOLAND COLEMAN IN UNION rrived Here Tuesday Night.

Coleman, deceas1, for whom attorneys representing [arry Coleman and others representig the interest of Roland Coleman ad been searching. They located Roind Coleman in Mansfield, Dhio. One f the interesting features of this eleman matter was the part played y a letter received by Mr. Samuel ittlejohn, purporting to be from Roind Coleman, and mailed at Salt ake City, Utah. Attorney L. G. outhard gave out the statement upi his return from the search for Itoind Coleman that Coleman asknowliged having written the letter in nestion and about which there were ) many conflicting statements.

The Baptist Sunday School convention which met at the Second Baptist tiuurchf November 29, was very interesting. The re presentation from otfTJ er schools of the county was not as large as at other conventions, but this was owing to its being a rainy day.

This subject was well discussed by Rev. S. W. Jolly and several other speakers, and which took up the morning hours. The first subject in the afternoon was "The Sign of the Times." It was ably presented by Scripture proofs by Rev. (Geo. P. White. The next convention will be at Tabernacle Baptist Church, fifth Sunday: in Jjiniinvv loir, II. E.
